I was under the impression that merchant agreements in the USA did not
allow them to ask for ID. How they resolve flagged transactions, if
that's the case, isn't my problem.

US merchants sometimes ask for separate ID, usually a driver's
license. It appears they do for large transactions or for merchants
who deal with many strangers (eg a tourist area).

I have no idea of what the law or bank policy is on that.

See the Apple story I linked to yesterday for one view on that.
